Wildly charismatic. Impossibly brilliant. Totally rebellious. For the first 20 years of his life, Will Hunting has called the shots. Now he's about to meet his match. See more »
When Will is seen driving to Stanford during the closing credits, the sign on a bridge over the highway says "Prospect St., Stockbridge", which points to him being on Rt. 90 west (MassPike). This means Will was taking an 18-mile/1-hour detour through upstate NY and Cleveland, Ohio, as the faster way to go (according to Google Maps) is via Rt. 84 south through Connecticut.
However, prior to Google Maps (and indeed even today), most people driving from Boston to San Francisco take the direct route of I-90 to Chicago and then I-80 from there. In spite of Google Maps, due to higher speed limits, Will's route is actually the faster route. See more »

The name of the film always put me off watching it. Ever so glad i was convinced in to it.
Only the fact that there is so much bad language and for Titanic being released in the same year this would have swept the boards in the Oscars!
I hate Robin Williams as a comedian, but i was in tears after watching his timeless performance. I love most of the classic movies but this is definitely the best film i have ever seen
Mat Damon played a great part, showing the full spectrum of emotions in his role.
I've ever gone out and bought the soundtrack to the film, i've watched it half a dozen times and always go right through to the final credits.
Pure brilliance!
